KANSAS CITY, Mo. —

It's a picture that's hard to see - a dog who was abandoned and abused needs your help - and so does the organization seeing to her care.

Meet Rosa Parks - a 5-year-old hound mix rescued from a kill shelter.

Unleashed Pet Rescue says after they picked her up - her owner claimed her - but later moved leaving Rosa with someone else.

Rosa was recently found near a highway - a good Samaritan spotted her and noticed something wrong. She was rushed to the vet where her microchip was scanned and Unleashed was called.

A veterinarian said Rose had been shot point blank in the head. As a result - she's lost one eye. Her jaw was also broken.

Unleashed says despite everything that has happened - Rosa is still a very loving pup.

The group needs help paying for Rosa's care. Anyone willing to help can donate to Unleashed Pet Rescue in person - or by following their donation link HERE.
